Fitness goals come in many
guises. We all know the obvious
ones: lose weight, run fast, go
far, lift heavy, collect compliments.
I would like to suggest that there are some other areas that contribute
to our fitness goals. Here are
some questions to consider:
What do we want to learn this
year? Our brains are crucial to
our fitness goals. If we are not
learning and growing, we are dying.
Let’s think about skills we want to develop, books we want to read,
experiences we want to create.
How do we want to connect? What sort of relationship weight
lifting do we need to do this year?
When we strengthen the bonds between people, we create healthy communities
and happy humans.
What feeds our souls? We spend lots of time thinking about
what to eat. What do our hearts
crave? Maybe we need to go outside,
or go to church, or hug a dog, or laugh really hard. Whatever it is, we need to do it to avoid soul anorexia.
Fitness is holistic (I am allowed
to use that word; I lived in Berkeley for 20 years.). Let’s make fitness goals that address our whole selves.
